I cannot express the gratitude I feel towards the college for showing me how to face my depression. It's been six months since I took the depression course and it's changed my life. Thank you New Leaf Recovery and Wellbeing College.

Hearing the stories of tutors and my classmates made all the difference. Once i stepped into the classroom, I no longer felt alone in my depression,

T gained a lot from this course. I hadn't realised I was depressed until this course. Now i know what I need to do to make changes.

This course was lifechanging. Thank you to all the tutors who showed expertise and kindness, you really helped me and I know i'll be able to use the strategies i've learned.

I was depressed for so long, I thought I was an expert in depression. Boy was I wrong - I was only an expert in my own depression.

It was really comforting to be around others who were feeling the same, and also to hear from the experts about how they had overcome their depression. It gave me hope that I could live mine also.

I would not be where I am today if it were not for this course, as I thought I understood depression. I thought I was depressed. But what I learned was that I was (past tense!) depressed and that now I was on the course, seeking help for it, I had already lifted the depression by doing all of the other courses. Months earlier I was feeling suicidal, so this confirmed exactly how far I had come.
